Module File Editor

Module File Editor provides a web-based interface for viewing and editing module files directly within the Drupal admin UI. It features a file browser, a syntax‑highlighted code editor, and save functionality, making it easier to manage custom module code without direct server access.

Key features

• File browser to navigate module directories and files.
• Syntax-highlighted editor using Ace Editor
• Permission-based access control integrated with Drupal roles and permissions.

Requirements

• Drupal 9 or later (Drupal 10 recommended).
• PHP 8.0+ (match Drupal requirements).
• Appropriate file permissions for the web server user so the module can read and write theme files.

Installation

• Place the module folder module_file_editor into your Drupal modules/contrib or modules/custom directory.
• Run drush en module_file_editor -y or enable it through the Extend UI.
• No need to configure anything as it is a basic module.
• Just go to Configuration → Development → Module File Editor to start using it.
